[edit] [top]Phonhonemes

Toap Shan is analysed here as having 17 consonants and 4 vowels phonemes that can not be divided into a group of phonemes without any meaning of words ever changing. The reason why the ejectives, with their own distinctive allophones are not marked as phonemes here, is that they can be substituted by a /Cʔ/ cluster, just as indicated in the orthography. With the orthographic rendering if not the same as the IPA equivalent in italics, the fully distinct consonant inventory looks like this:

		Labial	Alveolar		Velar	Uvular	Glottal
		Labial	Front	Back	Velar	Uvular	Glottal
Plosive	Tenuis	p b	t d		k g	q	ʔ h
	Aspirated	pʰ p	tʰ t		kʰ k	q
	Nasal	m	n
Fricative	Central		s	ʃ gs		χ r	h
Fricative	Lateral		ɬ ll				h
Approximant			l		ʍ <hu>

and the vowel inventory looks like this:

	front	back
close	i	o
mid	e	o
open	a
